37-116 Restoration
#43

Thanks Ron! I used 35 AWG wire.  Both windings are wound clockwise looking at and starting at the terminal end.  My counting gave 13 turns between terminal 1 and 2, 14 between 2 and 3, and 11 between 3 and 4.   These numbers and 35 AWG wire produced resistances as listed on the schematic.  The secondary was also 11 turns and is wound over top of the section of the primary that is between terminals 3 and 4.  I don't know if that is important but that is how the original was wound.  You can see on the pic of the finished coil the direction of the wind - clockwise.

As I said, it is possible that the first winding should have been 14 rather than 13 since I had to add 100mmf to the compensating cap #42C to get the dial lined up. Or, the wire spacing was different as when I measured the original wire, it indicated that it was 36 AWG, which I didn't have. Prior to adding the cap, I couldn't adjust 42C tight enough to get the low end of the dial on the right freq.

I'm thrilled that it worked cuz I didn't want to take it apart again!
